airstream ride?
Is there a bumper pull manufacture that builds a trailer that tows as well as an Airstream?

I think Airstream trailers all have shock absorbers and that's likely the difference, not aerodynamics. Get a TT that comes with shocks (not many do) or has them as an option or have them added.
We had shocks added to our 29' TT and it made a huge difference. Improves not only handling but there is less vertical motion of the trailer's coupler transferred to the ball on the TV so the ride is more comfortable. Having towed the same TT with and without shocks, I would never own another TT without them. Also, the reduction in bouncing reduces the chances of things being thrown around inside, esp. in rear kitchen models.
Shock kits are available (Mor/Ryde or Lippert) or you can design your own using Monroe shocks. You'll need a certified welder for welding brackets to the frame and a frame shop to install new tie plates & U-bolts.
